New counter added...

After the problems with the site template things are running quite smoothly at present, but the old counter dissapeared so I have added a new one today.

Z And is causing a stir at the moment, increasing from Mag 11 to 9.7 Eddy Muyllaert and Martin Nicholson to thank for the observations.

SY CNC in outburst...

SY CNC is in outburst at the moment, this is nothing unusual, but the relative groups want observers to contact Gary Poyner if there is any lessening of magnitude, as this is more critical.

SU UMa

Reported by John Toone in December and missed by me until now.

SU UMa is undergoing an outburst. This is significant because it is only the third outburst seen since the present spell of minimal activity began back in April 2007(we have seen three outbursts of U Gem in the same period).29 Nov 2007 1752GMT 14.1 C801 Dec 2007 0539GMT K(1)V(2)M 12.6 C14SU UMa is coming into the "well observed season" but its worth reminding everyone that this star is circumpolar from the British Isles and this outburst can be monitored at any time of the night.
